A Time-Traveling Mishap: I Became an Ancient Nobleman

Chapter 250 Understanding Our Suffering

Robert took a deep breath, picked up the tea on the table and drank it all in one gulp before continuing, "Lisa was also very grateful to him and relied on him until the old king passed away."

He continued holding the teacup, wanting to drink more water, only to find that the teacup was empty.

How could Li Xianda let the melon he was about to eat fall to the ground because of a cup of tea? He hurriedly reached out to pick up the teapot to pour him some, but Jiang Mingyun had already filled Robert's cup.

Looking at this young girl, Li Xianda found her incredibly pleasing to the eye for the first time in his life.

Seeing that the tea was full, Robert quickly said thank you. Jiang Mingyun waved her hand, her eyes wide, and asked, "And then?"

"Then we realized that he wasn't human at all."

Why are you suddenly swearing?

The group became even more gossipy, with all six eyes fixed on Robert, waiting for his next words.

"It turns out he had his eye on Lisa all along."

"What does he see in Lisa? Is he going to send her to marry a foreign ruler?" Only Li Xianda asked naively.

“If that’s the case, I wouldn’t say he’s not human, since he was doing it for the country. But he’s not. He’s taken a fancy to Lisa, he wants her, he wants her, he wants her… to keep Lisa by his side and make her his plaything!”

"what?!"

The three of them couldn't believe it. "But aren't they siblings?"

"Yes……"

Robert's eyes reddened as he spoke, and he suddenly slammed his fist on the table. "At first, I thought he was genuinely kind to his sister Lisa, and I wasn't wary of him at all. If I had known he was this kind of person, I wouldn't have... I wouldn't have..."

Lisa, her eyes already brimming with tears, reached out and grasped his fist. "Who would have thought he was this kind of person? My mother is gone, my father is gone, and my brother is my only remaining family. Unlike my other siblings, he didn't bully me. Ever since I entered the palace, he has always protected me. Not to mention you, even I never imagined he would have such intentions."

She sniffed. "Robert and I developed feelings for each other over time, and I planned to ask my brother to let me marry him. He was very angry and refused. At first, I thought he thought Robert's status was not high enough, but who knew that was not the case at all."

Since then, my brother has become a different person. His eyes are now filled with aggression when he looks at me, no longer as gentle as before. He even transferred Robert away from my side despite my objections.

I couldn't see Robert, and I missed him so much that I couldn't eat. But my brother still brought me food every day, and he wouldn't leave me even if I didn't eat.

One day I knelt before him and begged him to let me marry Robert. He suddenly flew into a rage and...

Lisa didn't finish her sentence; she was trembling uncontrollably, and Robert hugged her tightly, feeling sorry for her.

"It's okay, it's all in the past, it's all in the past."

Robert patted Lisa on the back, and Lisa took a while to continue: "From that day on, he was like a devil, coming to my room every day to force me to have sex with him."

Until one day, I suddenly felt unwell and couldn't eat anything. Later, I called the doctor and found out that I was pregnant. Only then did he stop.

When he saw that I was pregnant, he reverted to his usual gentleness. I feigned compliance to lull him into a false sense of security, and he thought I had finally accepted him, so he lowered his guard.

Finally, on the day of my delivery, I slipped some money to the midwife. After giving birth, I pretended to faint. When he saw me unconscious, he went to check on the baby. Thanks to my usual feigned compliance, the guards weren't as tight as usual, so I secretly escaped and found Robert. Before he could react, we left the United States.

Lisa's tears fell like beads. "But even so, he still wouldn't let me go. He kept sending people out to search for the two of us. Several times, we were almost caught and taken back by him. I didn't want to live that kind of life anymore. After discussing it with Robert, we decided to come to the Great Zhou to seek help from the royal family."

Robert chimed in, “Of all these countries, only the Great Zhou is stronger than the United States, so we came here, found Mr. Li, and then got to know the young prince through Mr. Li.”

After Robert finished speaking, he pulled Lisa to kneel down before Zhou Hanzhang, "Please, Prince, help us. He must have discovered our whereabouts to come to the Great Zhou."

Lisa cried, "I can't go back with him. I'll definitely die if I go back with him."

Robert reassured him, "Don't be afraid, we won't go back, even if it means death."

Zhou Hanzhang and Li Xianda quickly helped the two up, saying, "Don't worry so much. Their visit may not necessarily be for Princess Lisa. There may be other reasons. It might just be a simple diplomatic visit."

Lisa was crying uncontrollably. "No, he's not the kind of person who makes baseless accusations. You know, I gave birth to a monster. He... he even has a tail. It must be God punishing us for this behavior, because I'll go to hell after I die because of him."

Zhou Hanzhang sighed, unsure how to explain to Lisa the potential genetic defects that might result from inbreeding.

Actually, Lisa's statement isn't entirely wrong; it's just that it's not God punishing them, but rather that nature doesn't allow such a thing to happen.

"He also said that the child was a gift from God, and now he has spoiled and become extremely arrogant and violent. If this continues, our United States will be destroyed in his hands sooner or later."

Jiang Mingyun was also shocked by their experiences. She felt that her past life had been miserable enough, but she never expected that Lisa's experience was even worse than hers.

She felt deep sympathy, tears streaming down her face, and tugged at Zhou Hanzhang's sleeve, "Brother Hanzhang, let's help them, they're in such a terrible situation."

Looking at Jiang Mingyun, who was crying with tears and snot streaming down her face, Zhou Hanzhang felt quite helpless. "It's not that I'm unwilling to help them, but if the King of the United States really comes to our Great Zhou with the purpose of finding Lisa, I think someone like him will definitely not give up until he achieves his goal."

"But if we don't help them, they'll definitely suffer a terrible fate."

Lisa took out a handkerchief and wiped her face. "I know we're asking a lot of trouble, but apart from your Great Zhou royal family, we don't know who else to ask for help."

"Do you know that my father is a deposed prince? Our family doesn't actually have any real power in the Great Zhou. Why don't you try to find other princes? With your abilities, it shouldn't be difficult for you to get in touch with a prince."

Zhou Hanzhang first needed to ascertain their purpose. According to them, the new king of the United States was a pervert, a pervert who fell in love with his own sister, and was truly capable of paying any price for Lisa.
